Red Skin Rash On Belly, Behind Ears, Itchy, Painful. Applying Cream. Suggestions?

I have a red skin rash in the folds/rolls of my fat belly, on and behind my ears and under my breasts. Fiery red and dry and itchy and sometimes raw and hurts. Was told it was a yeast infection like atletes foot and have been using Clotrimazole USP 1% cream and Nystatin powder alternately to no avail, had it a long time - HELP!

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
itching and rash in all the folds cannot be due to fungal infection.

Probably you are suffering from air borne contact dermatitis.
You might require treatment with oral and systemic steroids depending on the severity of condition.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
